The Myths of Al Qaeda
By Kirwan
[email protected]
1-3-5
In George Orwell's classic "1984," his world was held together by continuous and unending war: In the book his concept was defined by video clips of HATE, broadcast several times a day during which the population (in the novel) was required to watch and rave against the ENEMY. Those who rule this nation now, seek to use Al Qaeda as the 2005 version of the terror created in '1984' by proclaiming the now infamous phrase "Links to Al Qaeda!"
Since the war began in Afghanistan, the administration has been using this completely damning and completely empty phrase at every opportunity. "Damning " because the phrase carries all the unspoken horror, and all the unspecified terror that our Bandits want the world to feel - every time there is any activity that the USA disapproves of. "Empty" because nothing, despite Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib, has ever been publicly found, no trials have been held that we know of, and no one has been convicted of being part of Al Qaeda - except the dead. So - What exactly is Al Qaeda?
Al Qaeda was created by the CIA, in their offices in Washington D.C., According to Richard Clark in his most recent book. It was created for Saudi Arabia to bankroll Osama bin Laden, through the House of Saud, "in the Afghan war against the Soviet Union during the 1980's and Riyadh and Washington together contributed an estimated $3.5 billion to the mujahideen."

I wonder why those with Bush do not believe this. Is it purely to go against Democrats? By trying to go against the democrats you accomplish nothing and hurt yourselves.

Today's Conservatives
Are Fascists
Torture, dictatorship, phony "elections,"
and endless war � it's fascism
with a "democratic" face
by Justin Raimondo
The idea that today's conservatives are in any way defenders of individual liberty, the free market, and what Russell Kirk called "the permanent things," i.e., the sacred traditions that have accumulated over time to constitute the core of our Judeo-Christian culture, is no longer a defensible proposition. Instead, what used to be called the conservative movement has morphed, almost overnight, into a coterie of moral monsters, whose political program is one of unmitigated evil.
My good friend Lew Rockwell has recently come to this conclusion:
"Year's end is the time for big thoughts, so here are mine. The most significant socio-political shift in our time has gone almost completely unremarked, and even unnoticed. It is the dramatic shift of the red-state bourgeoisie from leave-us-alone libertarianism, manifested in the Congressional elections of 1994, to almost totalitarian statist nationalism. Whereas the conservative middle class once cheered the circumscribing of the federal government, it now celebrates power and adores the central state, particularly its military wing. � What this implies for libertarians is a crying need to draw a clear separation between what we believe and what conservatives believe. It also requires that we face the reality of the current threat forthrightly by extending more rhetorical tolerance leftward and less rightward."

Not all republicans support the war & Bush, and not all democrats are anti-war socialists. The more you generalize and categorize people and groups, the more biased and narrow-minded you appear.
Those of us in the center who are rational, open-minded and bound in reality find those of you on the far-left just as ignorant and insufferable as the "fascists" you so easily criticize.

Why do you assume the U.S. is ALWAYS the evil one?
a) Why do you think the U.S. is always at fault?
b) Where is your proof for these shocking allegations? (By proof, I do not mean books people write - I want hard evidence that the U.S. is corrupt, evil, and paying the Taliban. Thank you.)

Where are is your "hard evidence" the taliban is responsible for any terrorism anywhere, apart fom what people like bush spout... The taliban was probably the best thing for Afghanistan, they stopped lots of the opium trade, stopped warring Druglords and enforced laws which (rightly or wrongly) kept crimes low... The only reasons they where attacked is because they refused to hand over OBL without the US giving any hard evidence and bush wanted a nice pipeline...

So. To the leftwinged extremists that posted on this previously, you ask why those with Bush do not see this? I pose this question:

Al Qaeda is real.

Apparently "al qaeda" is Arabic slang for "the toilet." Check out one of my sources here:

They'd rather check their brains at the door and listen to Rush. It's much easier than actually having to think.
Many of my fellow Republicans are of the opinion that Democrats are as bad as our nation's enemies. That is the thinking of fascists. And they don't even understand that.
What's it gonna take? A Democrat taking over and turning it on them. I mean, come on, can you imagine if Clinton had pulled this shyte? All hell would've broke loose.
